Class Libraries
• A class library is a collection of classes that we can
use when developing programs
• The Java standard class library is part of any Java
development environment
• Its classes are not part of the Java language per se,
but we rely on them heavily
• Various classes we've already used (System ,
Scanner, String) are part of the Java standard
class library

The Java API
• The Java class library is sometimes referred to as
the Java API
• API stands for Application Programming Interface
• Clusters of related classes are sometimes referred
to as specific APIs:
– The Swing API
– The Database API

Packages
• For purposes of accessing them, classes in the
Java API are organized into packages
• These often overlap with specific APIs
• Examples:
Package
Purpose
java.lang
java.applet
java.awt
javax.swing
java.net
java.util
javax.xml.parsers
General support
Creating applets for the web
Graphics and graphical user interfaces
Additional graphics capabilities
Network communication
Utilities
XML document processing

The import Declaration
• When you want to use a class from a package, you
could use its fully qualified name
java.util.Scanner
• Or you can import the class, and then use just the
class name
import java.util.Scanner;
• To import all classes in a particular package, you
can use the * wildcard character
import java.util.*;
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The import Declaration
• All classes of the java.lang package are
imported automatically into all programs
• It's as if all programs contain the following line:
import java.lang.*;
• That's why we didn't have to import the System or
String classes explicitly in earlier programs
• The Scanner class, on the other hand, is part of
the java.util package, and therefore must be
imported

The Random Class
• The Random class is part of the java.util
package
• It provides methods that generate pseudorandom
numbers
• A Random object performs complicated calculations
based on a seed value to produce a stream of
seemingly random values
• See RandomNumbers.java

The Math Class
• The Math class is part of the java.lang package
• The Math class contains methods that perform
various mathematical functions
• These include:
– absolute value
– square root
– exponentiation
– trigonometric functions
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Math Class
• The methods of the Math class are static methods
(also called class methods)
• Static methods are invoked through the class name
– no object of the Math class is needed
value = Math.cos(90) + Math.sqrt(delta);
• We discuss static methods further in Chapter 7
• See Quadratic.java
